Bead Hoarders Blog Hop

Of course you would know that in my infinite wisdom, I did not take a picture of my little pile of beads.

This is sort of a short post, though. I have pile of beads that are orange. I rarely use orange. It's one half of the school colors of my University rival, the Florida Gators, and well, I can't really not use blue, so I sort of naturally boycott orange.

Well for the blog hop, I decided to use this pile of orange beads that has been sitting in a little Tupperware bowl on my beading desk, taunting me with their sunset hue, for forever now. There were some pretty vintage acrylic bicones, seashell chips, seashell teardrops, seashell rounds as well as some orange seed beads and a few little daisy spacers just to throw in some whimsy.

I have to say, though, that I may have to change my opinion of orange after this, because I am actually really liking this color palette!

I don't use orange or yellow very much, and yet I still buy orange beads! I think I like the color, but have no idea what to pair it with to make it look classy. You did a fabulous job! I love your design and the bright color!

Glad you took the "orange" challenge, Candida... these are beautiful! I admit this is a colour I rarely use, but now I have received some special handmade orange beads for another challenge. I can use this extra inspiration!

I'm not big on orange either, but have found a few palettes that I can work with it in. It's great that you took this opportunity to use some of your stash AND work with a color you usually don't Way to go!!
